GUEST SPEAKER

GOVERNOR

– Steve Bullock –

“Steve Bullock, Montana’s former attorney general, was elected as Montana’s 24th governor in November 2012. As Governor, Steve made historic investments in Montana schools, fought to preserve access to public lands and waterways, supported Main Street Montana businesses, and continued to build on the state’s record of strong fiscal management.
Steve was born in Missoula and raised in Helena. He received his undergraduate degree from Claremont McKenna College and his law degree with honors from Columbia University Law School in New York. Steve’s legal career has been split between the private and public sectors. After few years at a Washington, D.C., law firm, Steve and his family returned to Montana and he opened a private law office. Steve served as Montana attorney general from 2009 to 2012. During this time, he fought to combat DUI’s in the state and lead the charge against “dark money” in politics.
He and his wife Lisa have three children: Caroline, Alexandria and Cameron.”
